Kratos is deadass mad in Fallen God. He can't make sense of left and right anymore and him walking into another pantheon like that may very well just be an illusion for him or the other gods directed him into a portal like that to fulfill his destiny in Egypt.
As for the other Persians coming in from their own mythology, one could argue their gods made a pathway for the Persians to look simplistic yet the reality is it's prolly some high level portal importing them to the other Pantheon. Because inter-realm travel doesn't happen physically either in Greek Myth or Norse. Kratos can't physically travel from the Mortal World to the Underworld just by digging through, it doesn't work like that, because if he really did, he'd logically end up in the Domain of Death, which is explicitly stated to be a separate realm from the Mortal World and the Underworld, but Kratos doesn't do that in GOW2 or 3. He just goes through. The only plausible explanation to this is godly BFR. That's it.

They did. And a cloaked woman. Novel says as much. Kratos did not come to the Norse Pantheon willingly, he was kidnapped and dropped on Norse shores.

Although they didn't explicitly explain, this may be the only explanation they gave us:
- Creating the Hades Palace Entrance was one of the hardest things I was tasked with during the course of production, but also one of the most satisfying concepts to do. This was one of the earliest environments that the player would encounter in the game, and we wanted it to have as much Visual impact as possible. Since Kratos is supposed to have fallen straight through the world directly to hell, we wanted to make it truly horrifying and scary place.

Not sure if that piece was made before Ghost of Sparta became a thing.

Before, if it's the Game. After, if it's the Art Book.
- 32,835

Huh. So the Artbook states Kratos directly fell into hell without making mention of the Domain of Death.

BTW, I think we should remove the "Scales to Helios" part from Kratos, and change it to just scaling to Zeus, Hercules and Hermes (The latter two actually having reacted to the light of Helios). Hermes and Hercules are the only ones who can react to the light from Helios's head, Kratos never does so and most other characters don't, mostly because they lack the defense against it or they just don't care enough and consider its power as useless (As proven when Hercules without the Cestuses only either gets sent flying or just powers through it when mid-attack, and Zeus isn't even affected by it in the slightest, that and Zeus literally scares the entire pantheon shitless and even catches Hermes off guard).
Not to mention that Helios is egregious fodder and everyone's punching bag, getting blitzed even by the severely-weakened-and-soul-stripped Atlas on his best day.

Fax. Also should Kratos' resistance negation with Golden Fleece make a comeback? From what I remember the reasoning for it's removal was Gorgons could be petrified with Euryale's head, unlike Medusa's but this ignores the fact that Euryale is more powerful than every other Gorgon (Except the one in Ascension Multiplayer I think)
You reflect their own gaze back at them, which they already resist.
Stoning them with Euryale's head or Soul Summon is just stronger petrification.
Also I think psychometry should be removed

There's a valid explanation for that. Medusa stuff got retconned. The reason why Medusa's head can't petrify other Gorgons in GOW1 is because her petrification powers got weakened as a result of her death at the hands of Kratos, as Aphrodite mentions in the novel. Medusa's petrifying powers are permanent while alive, yet Kratos had no issue breaking out of it at all. But once she dies, it's weakened and no longer permanent.
Even if it were not the case, it just means Euryale has stronger Petrification, not that it negates Resistance. Note that it says "Resistance", not "Immunity".
Neutral on this TBF.

Not sure mastering every weapon instantly is psychometry. Isn't psychometry something similar to clairvoyance?
- 32,835

Well the justification was that he mastered them upon physical contact with the weapon. But now I'm no longer certain.

i think stheno from multiplayer is strongest, her petrification bypass forcefield and insta-kill those warriors.

Novel states as much, but I'd guess he'd be a master of most weapons of his era in time, or possibly in all eras due to his status as a God of War and him seeing futures and stuff so that may not be too far-fetched IMHO.

Say what?
@huzzy Since I won't delve too deep into it, I'm Neutral on it, as what he was capable of was evident from the game or novel, sort of self-evident.
Apart from learning a weapon's skills from touching it, he is notable for actually mastering every weapon he encountered on his journey. Also, the weapons he wields are not normal weapons, whether they are weapons of the Gods or not. Be it a Swords, Spears, Hammer, Bows, Axe, and Gauntlets even. Also, any other weapons obtained from the gods could be used equally.
Nevertheless, one could argue that it could just be a game mechanic, otherwise we'd give every character in every video game a psychometric for having the same mechanics as God of War-like. So um...yea...

Do we even need novel statements? He clearly is a master of all weapons judging from gameplay

State of Play tomorrow 
Although the marketing for this game has been asscheeks so far so keep your expectations low.

yeahhhh but i think that one is super legit outerspace since kratos fight valkyrie in there, so i think that would be very good CHANCE to show immeasurable Valkyrie speed.
